Knowledge Base Repository
In addition to research papers, the Design Society is developing several valuable resources for those interested in the study of design. These include a repository of PhD theses, a library of case studies and transcripts of design activities, and an archive of our newsletters.

Abstract:
The evolution of stakeholder needs and the resulting desire to adapt system properties to those needs is key to high lifecycle value of enduring systems. The paper contributes to the assessment of the decisive Key Parameters (KPs) of systems to determine the value of adaptability in technical systems in order to compare different architectures. Using Monte-Carlo Simulation the monetization of those performance criteria is performed under consideration of technological progress and uncertainty and the approach illustrated along an industrial example.
